Description

Train and be seen in this versatile jacket

A protective outer layer offering the comfort of a jersey and the performance of a jacket in one functional piece. Designed for cool, damp conditions this innovative, windproof softshell has a perforated membrane and DWR (durable water repellent) treatment to keep the elements out while still preventing overheating. With a reflective, high-vis pink armband, fully reflective RCC logo on the rear and reflective trims throughout, this jacket is highly visible from all angles. A high-cut waist at the front and lower hem at the back provides a streamlined ‘Pro Team’ fit. An RCC crest features on the back-right pocket of the jacket, and RCC stripes run down the sides.

Nice features for autumn/winter ridingGood-looking and well-designed jacket for cooler temperatures. Nice features for autumn/winter riding - the pink is very visible and there are lots of reflective sections on the sides and the back. Pockets are good and don't sag. There is also a handy zip pocket that is easily accessible. The RCC logo on the back may be a little too "collegiate" for some. Pro team fit, so not flappy, but not much room to wear many layers underneath - I wear XL Rapha jerseys and XL in this jacket. Worn today in 5-10C with just a merino baselayer beneath. Ideal for tempo riding at this time of year, but moisture does not escape easily if you get sweaty or ride with high intensity (e.g. on long climbs).

Punches Above Its Weight!Bought this to compliment my RCC kit as it got cooler.
Worn this morning for the first time as there was a substantial Autumnal chill in the air - in fact it was baltic.
Winter balm applied to legs and did feel I was ready to be cold up top from wond chill.
Wrong!
What an awesome jacket, no wind chill felt at all, and a fantastic ride.
Looks awesome, fits awesome, quality awesome - in fact totally awesome!
Fits as should - Medium is medium (race fit). No need to adjust to fit.
If could put one negative its that arms are not same fit - bit baggy if have skinny arms like me!
Punches well above weight, defo my go to jacket!
Awesome!

Perfect JacketI bought this due to the beautiful design aesthetic and the weatherproof qualities, but I got way more then I expected. The jacket is unbelievably comfortable — the arm lengths, lower back and higher stomach edges make it a pleasure to ride in. The water repellency is as great as expected, but what really impressed me is how insulated this jacket is. I own a Rapha Pro Team Jacket and Winter Jacket, for really gruesome and cold weather, but last week I wore this jacket for a 4 hours ride in 2°c temperatures, with only a deep winter base layer beneath, and was warm and comfortable the entire ride. For a garment which is essentially lighter and more flexible than its winter jacket counterparts, it sure measures up in terms of protection, insulation, and comfort.

Nice snug fit and warmI bought this to wear here in the midwest during the cold weather. I have already had the chance as it dropped into the 40's (f) this last weekend. I wore it with my winter tights and no jersey. The jacket kept me warm while providing good breathability and sweat wicking in the back. It has a nice snug racing fit like the rest of the club kit. I will add the deep winter base layer, shoe covers and winter hat as it gets down into the 30's, 20's and 10's. I wear a medium jersey and ordered a large in this jacket. The Large fits snug for it was the right size for me.

Form & function- RCC Training Jacket #fashtechBought this beautiful piece of kit two weeks ago. I have been a Rapha wearer for three years with many purchases and I think this may be my best investment yet. Cool styling, snug fit, the fight for pink in the cycling gear stakes on the streets of Dublin is over. I love the offset zipper, big pink, grey, and white RCC and logos. Great attention to detail. Robust and hard wearing too it is ideal for off bike actives too. I take a small size but like most of Rapha gear it is a very snug fit so choose your size caregully. Wows onlookers and cyclists alike. Recommended. Proud to be called one of the Raphia if this is the signature we leave on the pages of sporting fashion. Not for the conservative Irish rider, but who cares?!

Sets the bar and redefines the perfect jacket.This is a must have item. My new, daily, go to jacket for Seattle's changing weather. Can act as both a light rain jacket, but performs as a layering piece with equal aplomb. The cut is for on the bike performance, sleeves are gusseted, and the vent panels are well placed. Breathability is top notch and the side panel venting is well placed. One last thing, the finishing touches are a step above. The RCC letters on the back are reflective and are a feature added benefit of an already perfect piece. This is hands down the best bit of kit I own.

No regretsI pondered between this and the brevet wind proof and decided on this for its waterproof advantage. It's a quality piece and style / fit is great. I'm 186cm tall, 80kg, 101cm chest, 33" waist and a large is perfect.
I've worn in light / med rain and water beads off the material. The jacket is warm, I've worn with bob tights and short sleeve jersey and when moving,5-10deg is perfectly comfortable.
Subtle double cuff detail suits gloves nicely to close gaps. Ample pockets, albeit the rear secure zip pocket only just closes over IPhone 6 size phone (first world problems).
To summarise, it's a great piece, if you like the look then you won't be disappointed with any features etc.

Excellent autumn/ winter jacketThis is my second pro-team jacket; nothing wrong with the first one, it is still just like new into its third season now. Nonetheless I manged to convince myself that I needed an 'RCC' version of the jacket, because of its improved visibility over the original, and also I think this jacket looks incredibly stylish. I absolutely love the way it looks.
I am a huge fan of these jackets. They are my go to jacket all through Autumn and Winter, with me only reaching for my trusty Rapha WInter Jacket when things get below 3 or 4 degrees Celsius. I think these jackets are at their best between 5 and say 12 or so degrees, depending on what base layer you go out in. I did a very windy 3 hours, quite high tempo ride today when the average temperature was 4 degrees, with a long sleeve merino base layer underneath and it was perfect. Not too hot, not too cold. In the past around 9 or 10 degrees I would just wear a short sleeve base layer underneath it and again it would be brilliant.
I know from the past that these jackets whilst not 100% waterproof, are very good in the rain if you unlucky enough to pick up a shower.
The only negatives I have are that the cuffs are quite tight, which makes getting winter gloves on and getting the cuffs under the cuffs of the jacket a bit tricky. Solution: put your gloves on first, then the jacket. At least you know you will not get any excess wind going up the sleeves. Other slight niggles are that the rear pockets are cut quite high. Good for loads of capacity, but it can make it a bit tricky sometimes to get access to them while you are riding, for a gel etc.
Other than that, an excellent product that I cannot recommend enough.

If I wear a size Small jersey, what size training jacket should I purchase? Small or one size bigger

Asked by: NTan

The Training Jacket is designed to be worn over a garment. If you wear a small size jersey then you should fit into a size small Training Jacket. You can also refer to our accurate size guide for the garment.

Is this jacket to be worn next to the skin or over a jersey?

Asked by: MileMuncher

Hi, this jacket is most often worn directly over a base layer, but it can be worn next to the skin or over a thin jersey.

Would this be the closest thing to Castelli's Gabba Jersey that Rapha makes?

Asked by: Prosenblum

Hi, the most comparable item would be the Pro Team Short Sleeve Shadow Jersey. Another good option would be the Pro Team Softshell Jacket.

What would be the difference to the RCC Pro Team Jacket?

Asked by: Jan V

Hi, this jacket is the RCC equivalent of the new Pro Team Training Jacket. This is essentially the new design of the Pro Team Jacket. The differences are mainly designed based, and there are more reflective features.

Would this be similar in warmth to a softshell jacket only with a more snug fit. I ride in the winter as long as it is above zero with my current softshell. Below 30 f I wear the deep winter tights, socks, base layer and the winter jersey with it.

Asked by: DavidDRobbins

Hi, this jacket is similar in warmth to the Classic Softshell Jacket but does have a close fit in line with the Pro Team range.
